Introduction
Overview
The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planning
document that is updated annually based on needs and policies identified in the
City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and Transportation Master Plan. The TIP
represents Kent's current list of needed projects that are anticipated to begin
preliminary engineering, right of way acquisition or construction within the next six
years. The TIP also includes ongoing citywide transportation programs. Projects and
programs included in the plan are those that are considered to be regionally
significant.
The document identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each
project or program. The TIP serves as a draft work plan for the development of the
local transportation network. Once adopted, the TIP will guide funding and
implementation priorities during the development of the transportation portion of
the Six -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP shows the City-funded
portion of projects and is constrained by current budget forecasts, whereas the TIP
shows a complete project list with the variety of funding sources and partners
involved.
Historically, the largest sources of funding for TIP capital projects have been grants.
Funding for transportation projects is available from federal, state and local
resources. Each funding source has specific rules and guidelines about what types
of projects they will fund, how much of a project will be funded and timelines for
expenditure of funds. Additionally, most grant programs require a funding match,
which means that the City must also contribute funding to the cost of a project.
The City of Kent funds transportation capital projects using the General Fund,
Street Fund, Local Improvement Districts, Transportation Impact Fees, Business
and Occupation Tax, Solid Waste Utility tax, and grant revenue from local, state
and federal governments. One of the reasons the TIP is updated annually is
because many of these revenue sources are so closely tied to the health of the
economy they can be somewhat unpredictable.
Document structure
Each project or program listed in the TIP includes an estimated cost, the amount of
funding secured or unsecured and the funding source(s). If grant funding has been
secured from a specific source, it is identified. Projects listed that are necessary to
accommodate growth and allow the City to maintain its adopted Levels of Service
may be funded in part by transportation impact fees. The costs for projects
programmed in the first three years of the TIP have been developed with a higher
level of certainty whereas those in the latter three years have been developed with
less specificity, as those projects are generally less defined.
Requirements
State law requires that each city develop a local TIP and that it be updated annually
(RCW 35. 77.010). It represents an important planning component under the State's
Growth Management Act. The TIP may be revised at any time during the year by a
majority of the Council, after a Public Hearing.
In order to compete for transportation funding grants from Federal and State
sources, granting agencies require that projects be included in the TIP. The State's
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, for example, requires that potential
projects be included in the TIP in order to be eligible for funding.
The Six Year TIP is also required to be consistent with the transportation element of
the Comprehensive Plan pursuant to RCW 35.77.010.
Changes to the TIP
The City adopted an updated Comprehensive Plan in 2015. For the 2035
Comprehensive Plan update, the first six years of the plan are financially
constrained, meaning that secured funding is demonstrated within an approved
budget or similarly approved funding action. Subsequently, the 2017-2022 TIP has
been revised to reflect projects that will likely be constructed using existing funding
sources as well as the City's historical record of average grant disbursements.
Capital Streets Projects that do not have any identified funding sources have been
removed from the plan. Projects and programs were reclassified where appropriate.

PROJECT TYPE: Non-Motorized
YEAR: 2017 expected completion
DESCRIPTION: Improve safety through the construction of engineering
improvements combined with education and enforcement. Add a
new mid-block pedestrian crossir1g .oJ Kent Kangley Road with
median refuge island and Rectarigular Rapid Flashing Beacons.
Restripe crosswalks and stop bars, upgrade pedestrian crossings
to countdown message moddles�and Americans with Disability
Accessible (ADA) standard pedestrian push buttons. A total of
24 sidewalk ramps .at�seven intersections on Kent Kangley
between SE 256th $treet and 124th Avenue Southeast will be
improved by this project. and signage consistent with the Manual
on Urban Traffic Control Devices will be ihstaUed along the
entire projest length. The projepLis'nearing completion.

'Kent KaQgley Road (SR 516) is one of the most densely
populated corridors in the City. The section from 104th Ave SE
to,'12,A�h Ave SE is a congested Principal Arterial with a
surrounding mixed-use context. It is also a designated truck
route and currently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) E
during the PM Peak. The majority of housing along this portion
of SR 516 is high-density multifamily that generates a
substantial amount of pedestrian traffic. This section of Kent
Kangley is a high boarding area for transit and a popular
destination for senior citizens due to the high concentration of
shopping facilities, banks, medical offices and senior housing.
The project area includes two of the highest collision incident

locations in the City (104 Avenue SE at 256 Street and 116
Avenue SE at Kent Kangley Road). The majority of collisions
reported in the project area from 2006-2008 occurred during
the daylight hours with pedestrians over the age of 18.

JUSTI�I�ATION: Thi� project will provide additional transit access to support the high pc;1rking demand at the Kent Transit Center. The existing surface· and structured parking is full by 7AM on weekdays. With the current Sounder schedule, half of the AM northbound commut'er' trains arrive after 7AM. Commuters that would otherwise choose to ride the bus or train to access other region�! centers have to drive instead. This area is heavily used by commuters walking and biking to and from the Sounder Platform, Metro and Sound Transit bus station pullouts.
